Completely overhauled in recent years, this DNT mountain lodge and hostel at the
Preikestolen trailhead means Preikestolen finally has accommodation worthy of its natural
splendour. There is a range of accommodation for all budgets, including a well-kept hostel
(with breakfast and linen included in the price), stylishly simple lodge rooms and family
cottages.
In summer you can even stay in a hammock slung on a roofed dock by the lakeside at
their B&B Basecamp's 'water camp'. Canoe or walk there along Refsvatn lake - canoe
rental is included in the price and it can be used throughout your stay. Hot breakfasts are
prepared on the campfire.
